pulled back panel to get at evap fan motor cut wires to remove reinstalled hooked up wires

I watch the video on your site and this make iit very easy to do. That repair that tooks me 40 minutes.

A little research told me the hum plus no cooling was either the compressor or the relay. I ordered the new relay and put it in but it didn't fix the problem. I ended up having to buy a new fridge, but it was worth the $30 gamble to see if I could fix it on the cheap and it saved me the money a service call would've cost. Pretty easy installation, just in a tight space on my model.

Unplugged fridge. Removed freezer shelves and unscrewed and removed plastic shelf brackets. Removed the lower rear panel. Removed the bin for ice. Removed the 2 exposed upper rear panel screws. At this point I was able to flex the panel quite enough to access the fan motor. Carefully plugged the fridge back in and turned it on long enough to verify the existing evap. fan motor was not running. Powered off and unplugged again. Removed the fan and it's support assembly, and replaced with new. Had to cut the wires and splice and crimp with the provided wire nuts since the plugs in this model were different. Powered on fridge to check fan function. Reassemble and go home looking' like a hero! Saved my BFF a couple hundred bucks.

I had to loosen the screw holding the mounting block and increase the hole size to fit the screw on refrigerator

I slid off old caps, then slid on new caps. I pushed down metal holding clamps and I was finished. The whole process was about 5 minutes. The parts select web site was great. I looked up my parts on the easy to use catalog and ordered them. Make sure you save the broken parts or write down the part numbers to make finding your exact parts easier. I wish all parts web sites were as easy to use as parts select.

The evaporator coil is behind the freezer. Remove the rack that makes the shelf and remove two 1/4” hex head screws I the back of the freezer to access the coil.
I used a hair dryer to melt the ice off the coil.
The thermostat clips on the refrigeration pipe to the coil. Remove the old thermostat and cut the wires at least a few inches from the thermostat. Clip the new thermostat on the pipe and strip about a 1/4” of the wire ends. The electrical connectors (provided with the new part) must be crimped to connect the wires.

Ordered the right parts thanks to your list of part numbers and where they were located on the refrigerator. They fit perfect and problem fixed in five minutes. This is the best site I have ever used!

Please keep up the good service you provide.

replaced it

I had to cut the retainer bar to length and then snap the end caps onto the bar. Then just snap the assembly onto the freezer. No problem!

Removed the broken piece and snapped in the new piece bought from PartSelect. Later connected the bar between the left end cap and right end cap. All done in few minutes. The new piece fitted well into the location with no issues.

Thanks PartSelect

Snapped the new parts in.. and good as new!

Slip the endcap off the door--- no tools required for that. Use flat end of screwdriver to loosen the bracket holding the door bar into the endcap. The bar slides right out, is easily replaced, and the endcap slips right back on to the door.

The retainer bar was missing from a refrigerator in our rental property. A tenant had broken it and thrown it out. I found the model # on the appliance and looked up the parts diagram on the PartsSelect website and found what I needed. I placed the order one day and had the parts 2 days later! Unpacking was the hardest part. The parts just snapped together to make up the complete retainer unit. Then I just fit the unit onto the formed clips on the door shelf. I'd cosider this a " simple" job.

Just popped the new piece into place.
